Year end 2026

LIFT UP YOUR EYES

Greetings friends,

As we come to a close in 2026, I want to ask you an important, and biblical question. It is a question that the Psalmist asks during a somewhat challenging pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the ancient world.

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? — Psalm 121:1

In this Psalm the hills represent the unknown and often a place where trouble could emerge. In the ancient world raiders and bandits could come out of hiding to assault and pillage a pilgrimage making his way for the annual festivals and the wordship of God. Or as the writer of the old hymn Amazing Grace once noted, we all pass through many dangers, toils, and snares in this life. We all need help and the Psalmist asks all of us from where does our help come? Where do we look to for our hope and deliverance from the evils of this life. His answer is equally powerful.

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:2

Today, as you are reading this, an important truth comes into focus for us. When we sojourn through this life in Christ, God is our present help in a time of trouble and has our back in every sense of the phrase. He has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We celebrate this at Christmastime as we look forward to the full and final victory of God. 2026 has probably been our best year with the Gospel Underground. The doors God is opening for us and the opportunities being presented to us are numerous and exciting. Our three lanes of ministry, supporting and strengthening local churches, sharing the gospel with the coming generation, and thoughtfully engaging with people in culture are all humming along in some incredible ways! Thank you for making this possible!

As we close out the year three kind friends have provided a total of $25,000 in matching gifts to help us get to our year end fundraising goals. Each year, the year-end season provides roughly a third of the revenue necessary for the Gospel Underground to function well in the purposes for which God has called us.

Your gift to our ministry helps us continue our work of advancing the mission of God in the borderlands between the church and culture! Thank you for considering a donation to The Gospel Underground as we close out 2026.

You can make your gift online or mail to the address below.

We are grateful to serve with you for the sake of Christ and kingdom!
